Aaron Wolf makes professional wrestling debut at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20

Aaron Wolf is already a champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

In his debut as a professional wrestler, the judo gold medalist defeated EVIL to win the NEVER Championship. As usual with the House of Torture, hijinks ensued as many members of EVIL’s stable freely interfered. YOH, Toru Yano, and Master Wato however came out to try and even the odds. Wolf also managed to take out many of the members with judo throws.

Despite having powder thrown in his face and being put through a table by Don Fale, Wolf persevered through House of Torture’s intererence and took down EVIL with a triangle choke. The NEVER Champion ended up passing out, giving Wolf a major victory.

It was announced back in June that Wolf had signed with NJPW and would be making his debut at Wrestle Kingdom. In October, it was made official that EVIL would be taking on Wolf after the Olympian made the save for Boltin Oleg. During the press conference confirming the title match, EVIL spray-painted the title and said it was his own gold medal.

The NEVER Six-Man Tag Team titles also changed hands at the start of Wrestle Kingdom 20. Zack Sabre Jr., Ryohei Oiwa, and Hartley Jackson emerged as the new champions, winning the Ranbo after eliminating Bishimon and Oleg.
